Plumbers clear drains and fix pipes. They usually do not remove soaked carpet, cut out wet drywall or sanitize a floor. Ask what each trade covers before the work begins.

How Shower Drain Sewer Backup Cleanup Works in Darien
-
Extract the sewage
Extraction removes most of the contaminated water, but not all of it. What the pump leaves in carpet, pad and cracks is picked up with weighted extractors, and the rest is handled in later steps.
-
Map where it traveled
Hidden moisture shows on the thermal camera as cooler patches. The technician confirms each one with a meter before marking a wall for removal, so only wet material gets cut.
-
Cut out what it soaked
Only what is wet or contaminated comes out, and the technician logs every item. That list is the record an adjuster sees later.
-
Sanitize, dry and check
The job is done when the readings reach the goal, not when a surface feels dry. The final log goes into the file, and the equipment comes out.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives
Cleaning the surface is not enough. Germs and moisture sit inside porous materials, so the crew removes those first and then sanitizes what stays. Drying to a measured goal is what keeps mold from getting a start.
- Close the bathroom door and keep children and pets out.
- Do not run the shower, sink or any other drain in the house.
- Skip drain cleaner and bleach in the shower drain.
- Wear gloves and boots if you must cross the floor, then wash well.
- Photograph the tub, the water on the floor and any stained wall.
